RA2335
Actually, issue 8 of RA2335 was released in Feb 2018 and contained revised limits for Display Flying and Flypasts. These revisions were directly attributable to the fallout from Shoreham.

That is unfortunate, but explains some of the waffle on other areas of the internet expecting a compass attack [or similar] and getting a sedate "fly bye"
Put the old girl to rest gracefully with style and come home to roost safely.

Reading between the lines regarding the lower/faster flypasts at other places, perhaps we here at Cosford suffered because of the museum. It was totally packed yesterday, with cars tailed-back as far as the motorway. Maybe because of that, it was considered more of a "public display" than at some of the other bases. Either way, it was good to see them.
Just been a piece on BBC News at 6 with their defence correspondent on board one of the trio.
IWM lunchtime..
I popped into Duxford at lunchtime so here are my photos of the trio passing through en route from Honington To Thurkeigh (Bedford).

Is there anywhere online that gives details of today's route? I've seen the locations where they're doing flypasts, just wondering about the routes in between. Thanks in advance.

I really do wish people would stop talking about "fighter jet" (whatever that is!) probably some journo struggling to cope with FJ.
The GR4 is a BOMBER, not a fighter.
We don't have any fighters any more; Typhoon is "swing role" - is it really that difficult?

To the public, it's a fighter jet. Let it go...

Saw them near M Keynes yesterday, and my daughter's telephoto did the trick.
Please are there details of Cranwell rehearsal 28th Feb .... if it is PM I could manage it.
Morning would be a b*gger.
